Dynamically enable / disable a service

Have you ever wanted to enable a serivce locally, but not on you CI? Need to quickly disable a service for debugging?

This handle little command lets you enable/disable a DDEV docker-compose based service.

Installation

• Copy the service file into the DDEV commands directory.

To activate the command for all DDEV projects, copy it to your global DDEV config directory: ~/.ddev/commands/host.

If you prefer to enable it on a per-project basis, copy it into the project commands directory: ./.ddev/commands/host.

Note: If you have a copy in both locations, you will recieve a warning:

Project-level command 'service' is overriding the global 'service' command

Usage

EG. Lets assume you have ./.ddev/docker-compose.cypress.yaml file that provides the cypress service.

Type the following command to disable the service:

ddev service cypress disable

The file is renamed to ./.ddev/docker-compose.cypress.yaml.disabled. It will no longer be read by DDEV on startup.

Type the following command to enable the service:

ddev service cypress enable

Notes

• If a service is updated, "enabled" or "disabled", DDEV will automatically restart to apply the changes.
• The service name is parsed from the file name; docker-composer.goo.yaml assumes the service is called goo.
• You can update the command variable DISABLED_EXT to change the disabled extension. Default is ".disabled"
